The CIO100 report and those awarded will be celebrated at our annual CIO100 breakfast in Auckland on March 28 and in Wellington on March 29, 2017.

David Spaziani of Gartner, Dawie Olivier of Westpac and Glen Willoughby of Downer were among the speakers at the 2016 CIO100 events in Auckland and Wellington.

“We want to know how you have used technology to transform your operations, created unique innovations that have provided competitive advantage, and how you wield influence across your organisation and its leadership team,” says Divina Paredes, editor, CIO New Zealand.

“The CIO100 is a chance for New Zealand CIOs to share your leadership stories, and collectively provide great lessons for your executive peers on stepping up to the challenges of leading teams in today’s dynamic environment,” says Paredes.
